1998 Electro/ Minimal Techno Classic Repressed- Long-overdue repress of the 1998 classic Ural 13 Diktators debut release. From Ghetto Techno to Hi-NRG influenced Neo-Soviet Electroclash and traditional melodies. Mastered from the original tapes and lacquer cut in 2025 by Mike Grinser at Manmade Mastering, Berlin. Slava Ukraini!
Helsinki electro outfit Ural 13 Diktators return with a long-overdue repress of their 1998 debut, 'Diskossa'. An aesthetically Leninist 12", this supermontane EP consists in Hi-NRG-inflected, neo-Soviet electroclash, and nods to traditional Finnish melodies, highlighting the supervigilante band's early experimental edge. Mastered from the original tapes and lacquer cut in 2025 by Mike Grinser at Manmade Mastering in Berlin, the repress brings renewed clarity to tracks like 'Diskossa', 'Paraati', '1985', 'Manifesti', and 'Uralin Pihlaja'. A previous glimpse into late-90s Eastern European experimentation in techno, where ringmod vocoders and toddling synth lines brought a zany, plucky, gaga edge to the sound.
